Preface

This book is the primary reference and technical manual for the

8101/8104 Gigabit Ethernet Controller. It contains a complete functional

description and includes complete physical and electrical speciﬁcations

for the 8101/8104.

The 8104 is functionally the same as the 8101, except that the 8104 is

in a 208-pin Ball Grid Array (BGA) package and the 8101 is in a 208-pin

Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) package
